Local Missions
About four years ago, Cove Church partnered with The Haven in Transylvania County to be the main “Code Purple” facility. Code Purple is a statewide project that provides people who are without housing a place of shelter when the temperatures reach 32 degrees or below.
It was in this meeting that we were made aware of how big of a need emergency housing is in Transylvania County. In November 2021, we started Cove Shelter (later renamed The Cove, providing emergency housing for the coldest months of the year (November 1 through March 31).
During the declared Code Purple periods, The Cove provides overnight accommodations for 20 guests, offering a hot meal every evening, a place to shower, clothes closet, and laundry facilities.
